sorry for the delay but I wasn't sure of what I wanted to happen in this chapter, but now I did so I hope you enjoy

Chapter 13:

It was the night of Jo's first official date with Preston. Ellie smiled as she saw her mom pace around the room.

"Hey Mom, calm down a little, your date with Preston is going to be fine."

"I know sweetie," Jo kissed her daughter's cheek. "I'm just a little anxious is all."

"That's because you like him a whole lot more than you're letting on. It's okay though," Ellie smiled.

Jo froze when there was a knock heard on the door.

Ellie rubbed her mom's arm, "Mom, it's going to be okay, it's just Preston."

Jo ran a hand through her hair before getting up from the couch, going to open the door.

Preston had a big smile on his face, he was wearing a dress shirt and dress pants. "Hey," he kissed her cheek. "You look beautiful."

"You don't look so bad yourself," Jo smiled. "Come on Ellie, time to go to Preston's."

Ellie got off the couch and gave Preston a hug, "Take good care of my mom tonight Preston, she's very nervous," she winked, before saying goodbye to Jo and going to Preston's apartment.

"Your sister doesn't mind watching the kids?"

"Jo, everything will be fine, she loves Ellie. So you that nervous for our date?"

"Don't listen to Ellie, I was just a little anxious."

"Well now I'm here," he leaned down kissing her softly. Her hands ran through his hair, as they moved their mouths and tongues together. Preston pulled back, smiling down at Jo. "God, you look so beautiful," he smirked.

"Are we going to stand in the hall all night?"

"Oh no, I got something planned and I'm sure you'll like it," he grabbed her hand, kissing it softly.

"So where are we going exactly?"

"It's for me to know, and you to find out babe," he kissed her cheek.

"Babe?" she asked, with a slight blush.

"Unless you want me to call you something else, it's the only pet name that fits you, besides sexy."

"You and your way with words," she kissed him softly.

"So does that mean I get some brownie points?"

"You were my first best friend, you always have brownie points," she winked.

"Preston, are we almost there yet?" Jo groaned as they were taking a walk through Central Park.

"Yeah, we are," he gave her hand a squeeze.

A few more minutes later, Preston smirked, "Now we're here," he nudged her.

She took in her surroundings and smiled, "How'd you set up a picnic in Central Park?"

"I know some people, that can give me these kind of connections."

"Did someone else help you with this idea?" Jo asked, knowing the answer.

"Okay you caught me Jo, but I realized that he must know you the best, and yeah I asked Mac Taylor for help."

"I kind of figured, today at work he wanted to know what is a way to propose to someone, and I gave him this idea. Plus I heard him talking on the phone to you. I am a very good detective."

"I've realized this, I ever had two officers in the NYPD to watch over the area."

"Well, you really surprised me here Preston."

"That was the whole plan my dear," he grabbed her hand and led her to the table setting.

"You were right the only pet name that works is babe."

"Alright, so you don't like my dear, I can cross that off my list of pet names then."

"You have a list?" Jo asked with a smirk.

"You laugh now babe, some of them are pretty good."

"Not the one you called your girlfriend in the 7th grade, hopefully."

"Um no, banana cakes isn't a very good pet name. You deserve something more special than that."

"Enough of pet names, what's for dinner?"

"Chicken parmesan with spaghetti, courtesy of me and my sister, and Logan gave minimal help."

"Well it looks great Preston you and her did a great job."

Preston smiled, as Jo ate some chicken, "Is it good?"

Jo nodded, "You should try some."

After they finished eating and talking, they were walking back out of the park. Stopping every now and again to share a kiss. The last time Jo ended pressing Preston against a tree, and grinding her hips into his as they shared a very steamy kiss.

Jo groaned as she felt the buldge in his pants pressed against her.

"Someone's excited to see you Jo," he groaned as she kiss down his neck. "I should treat you out everyday."

Her hand ran down over him, and she moaned into his neck.

"I need you Preston," she sighed, as she pulled back. "I want to go slow, but I need you."

"I need you too Jo," he brushed his lips against hers.

"I can tell," she whispered. "Can we go back to my place for more dessert?"

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" he asked, kind of nervous about her answer.

"I don't want sex exactly, but something close to it. I'm wanting to save our first time for something special."

"I do not blame you there babe," he kissed the tip of her nose. "Let's go back to your place," he nodded, and that's what they did.

They were kissing as they stepped inside Jo's apartment, she closed the door, and was being pressed against it by Preston.

"Before we start Preston, there is something I think I should share with you."

"What is it?" Preston asked, cupping her cheeks with his hands.

"Well first of I am very surprised in how it's not awkward being so intimate with you. We've been best friends so long, and I'm surprised that our new relationship doesn't feeling weird. You know what I'm trying to say?"

Preston nodded, "Yeah, it's comfortable being so hands on with you. It's not crazy is it?"

Jo shrugged, "Well it's very different for me, even with Russ it was hard to be completely comfortable around him in this kind of setting."

"And that's a good thing for me, I hope."

"It is, I just wish that we have been doing this a hell of a lot sooner."

"Me too," he lowered his mouth onto hers as he walked her until her legs touched the arm of the couch.

He lowered her down to the couch, and straddled her, grinding hips together, never lifting his lips from hers. His grinding movements started slow, as he picked up the pace. Jo wrapped her legs around him, as the buldge in his pants came across her crotch.

"Preston," Jo groaned, her eyes closed, enjoying the feel of their bodies moving together.

Preston didn't believe he would ever want her so badly, and he was amazed at her reactions as they continued their very heavy makeout session. If he died, he would die a very happy man indeed.
